Larry Tesler was really convinced of the merits of modeless interfaces. He even got “NOMODES” on his license plate.

Was at 23andME when he was there, too. We (engineering) had no idea who he was initially but I did notice his license plate "NO MODES." Only after we looked him up and found that he had invented copy-paste did we realize he was a living legend. Sad to see he's passed on.
